While you're here, how about checking out the

Keith,
I'm not really sure what you mean. If you mean that the goto does not
exactly center the objects, that's not surprising; heck, it's impressive
that the scope gets the object on the chip; I certainly don't complain that
I need to slew a bit to center it!

Subject: [M]: polar (miss)aligning?
Once I have aligned my telescope (LX200 classic, - using the drift method)
I find that the images I am trying to capture are consistently off center on
my CCD chip. I was wondering if "syncing" the telescope to a centered image
will goof up the proper tracking that the alignment procedure has set up. At
this point I "GoTo" each object and spend the time to center each of them.
Thanks,
Keith
